ISSUE: Revision table template

I am trying to export our revision table as a template, but its not
saving the extra row I added for our revision 0. We start our drawings
at rev 0, and show this in the revision block. Since the first rev
that shows up when you do a "Add revision" is 1, we add a 0 row
manually.

The reason why I need this for a template is 1.) When modifying old
drawings, we update our sheetformat, which doest contain the new
revision (i dont believe there is a way to add the revision table to
the sheet format) and 2.) Every SolidWorks user would like their own
rev table with their data filled in. Since I cannot get custom
properties to work in the rev table, I need to do this.

Attached is what our base rev table looks like, the second image is
what I get when I save it as a template.

Im suprised I havent received any responses on this. Do most people
use the SolidWorks revision block, or do they create their own using
Excel or another OLE object? We use to have just plain lines and text,
that was a PITA.

 

I still use the PITA way

Bad enough SW buggering around with toolbox and BOMs in the past I
tend to not trust their helpful features for a few years
